Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] TRY / CATCH in dissector verus .c

[David Aggeler <david_aggeler@xxxxxxxxxx>]

What's the take on using exception handling in a dissector?

I'd like to do a transfer syntax detection in packet-dcm, and the most 
appealing way would be to try the three options in a try {} clause.

Apart from the TCP dissector, I've seen exception handling in other 
places. So it it o.k to use it and if so, are there particular things to 
pay attention to?
